As a lead investor in one of our earlier rounds, we have worked with IVP for several years. They have been extremely helpful on many levels, and we consider them a great investment partner. Dick Costolo, CEO

We chose IVP to lead our $150 million pre-IPO round because of the firm's strong reputation, entrepreneur-friendly style, and expertise in later-stage investing. Plus, they were great to work with, and were always extremely honest and direct. They really have been fantastic partners and have helped us with recruiting, introductions, acquisitions, and our recent IPO. IVP genuinely cares about our company and has worked tirelessly to help us succeed. Cotter Cunningham, CEO

IVP made a real effort to get to know me and Marketo and build a trusted relationship. That trust and IVP's track record of success made it a complete no-brainer to team with them when the time was right. IVP is a true class act. Phil Fernandez, President & CEO

IVP knew our industry well, given its previous investments. It is great to have the IVP team on our Board - their experience in helping build great growth companies, both organically and through rolling up acquisitions, is very valuable. Jim Travers, CEO

We decided to do a deal with IVP at a valuation that was about 10% less than the other term sheets' average. Going with a firm that has a track record of helping to build winning businesses improves your chance of winning as an entrepreneur. I have found that winners invest in winners and losers invest in losers. The difference between the best firms, like IVP, and the decent firms is enormous and demonstrable. Michael Lazerow, CEO

When we raised our $160 million Series C, we had many firms competing to lead the round. We selected IVP because they had great domain expertise and a very efficient investment process. IVP has been incredibly helpful on the board, and they're one of our most valuable investment partners. Brian Sharples, Chairman & CEO

IVP helped us to successfully execute on our business - from building our board to assisting us in the IPO process. They have been a valuable sounding board as we think about our company's strategic direction for the future. Stephen Waldis, Chairman, President & CEO
